Ontario to Compel Colleges to Guarantee Foreign Student Housing.

Ontario, the most populous province in Canada and home to half of the country's foreign students, will now require all colleges and universities to guarantee housing for incoming cohorts. This decision comes after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government imposed a cap on international student visas to address public concerns about rising rents and housing prices. Ontario will also review programs offered by institutions with a significant number of foreign students to ensure they meet labor market demands. The province will ban new partnerships between public and private colleges, which have contributed to a threefold increase in foreign students over the past decade. The government of British Columbia is expected to announce similar measures soon. [Extracted from the article]
